Location was great! It’s really close to the beach & walkable to restaurants, shopping, & the pier. It is hard to park there, & expensive to park there. It’s also quite noisy due to traffic on the road, but it was clean & perfect for our needs.

In spite of the property being older, it is well maintained, clean and comfortable. They can improve their service by having at least two vending machines, drinks and snacks.

Great location a couple blocks from the Santa Monica pier, downtown Santa Monica and walkable to Venice Beach. Cute “old school” motel experience, with clean and updated room. Two women traveling and felt safe although you are in a busy tourist area so always be aware of you surroundings. Definitely would stay again.

There was no one in the office. When you did hit the ring doorbell no one answered it ever. I ran out of toilet paper and couldn't get anyone to get me more, luckily the room next to mine had an extra roll Yes there is parking on site but you have to pay extra and the spaces are so small you can't get out of the car.

This property was located near the beach, which was perfect! Plenty of scooters nearby so you don’t have to worry about driving to nearby restaurants, etc or being stuck in traffic. The parking stalls are a bit tight, but other than that I would stay here again.
